"Speaking Truth in Love is a winsome, readable handbook that delves into the heart of how God would have us relate to one another. It's not only an essential for the Christian counselor's library; it is also must-reading for any believer who wants to build great and godly relationships."
Joni Earekson Tada, Best-selling author; founder of Joni and Friends International
"This wonderful volume from David Powlison is a gift to the body of Christ that will help us use God's Word more skillfully in what he calls "significant, life-rearranging mutual counseling." If we are really committed to genuine community in the church, this is the biblical pathway that will lead us there."
